Sailors as Entrepreneurs in a Great Lakes Maritime Village
" /></a></p><p>
Those with an interest in the maritime history of the Great Lakes may well agree that while stories abound, historical writings are more scarce. Shipwrecks have been documented extensively, but the question of what sailors were doing when not caught up in catastrophes remains largely unanswered. Studying the development of maritime dependent communities, however, offers the promise of seeing the context in which sailors lived and thus being able to understand more about their place within the local society. Algoma, Wisconsin, is one community which provides insight into the lives of the owners, masters and crew of the small and independently-owned schooners which were ubiquitous on the lakes but were rarely commented upon except when they met disaster. What can be seen in Algoma's history takes us far beyond the confining stereotype of sailors as bawdy, hard-drinking, waterbourne nomads. There, and presumably in other small maritime towns, common sailors occupied an impo rtant, respectable and responsible niche within the community. Their entrepreneurial spirit shaped both the local economy and local politics. Through small scale commercial sailing enterprises first- and second-generation immigrants found a way to escape rural poverty and become more fully integrated into the socio-economic mainstream. But perhaps most fascinating, the sailors and their vessels became a vital part of local mythology, providing heroes whose names are still remembered 125 years later.

The ARIEL of Port Hope was built at Quebec in 1867 and taken off the registry in 1907. The identification of the harbour as possibly
Goderich, Ontario is still speculative but is supported by the pier configuration and the fact that she was sold to Goderich interests in the 1880s.

There was no railroad to Owen Sound until 1873, so the Frances Smith was a vital link in the settlement of the area. In 1868 the Frances Smith ran agound at Key harbour and wintered on the now named Frances Smith Shoal. The wrecked vessel was retreived in the spring of 1869 and towed to Detoit where extensive repairs were done by June 1869. These repairs included the addition of a "texas" cabin, the removal of one stack and a full refurbishing of the interior.
Photograph of W. H. Smith's steamboat FRANCES SMITH at Boyd's wharf in Owen Sound about 1867-68. Boyd's wharf was located about 1/4 mile outisde the down town because the Sydenham River was prone to silting up the harbour. This was the only wharf capable of unloading large steamers until 1868. The image of the Frances Smith is from 1867 or 1868, while she still had 2 stacks. At the time she was on a regular run from Owen Sound to Cape Rich to Meaford and finally Collingwood where the "Northern RR" from Toronto terminated.

1798. Geography. -- Escanaba is situated on the souther shore of that part of northern Michigan which forms the peninsula separating Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. It is at the mouth of the Rapid River on the Bay de Noquette.
Products and Industries.--Iron is the most widely distributed and useful of metals. The United States produces about one-third of the world's supply. While twenthy-four states contribute to the iron-ore output, the five iron-ore districts of Lake Superior supply about two-thirds of the American output. Since the improvement in mining machinery, the cost of transportation and handling has been much reduced. Much of the Lake Superior ore is shoveled from open pits by steam shovels, which dump the ore into railroad cars.
The output of each shovel per day is 1,500 to 2,000 tons, To mine a ton costs from 10 to 50 cents. The ore in the cars is then carried to the neighboring shipping ports, like Escanaba. Then it is dumped into bunkers here at the docks and when the doors are opened slides down chutes into the hatches of the ore ships. Cars like the one we see ahead, run down these parallel tracks and when they are over an empty pocket they are stopped. The bottom is then mechanically withdrawn and the ore -- several tons of it -- falls into place. These men are shoveling the loose ore, which fell around the sides and edges, down into the proper pit, so that the entire amount can be loaded on to the ships quickly. Over three thousand tons can be loaded in fifty-five minutes. (See S234).

164 -- (6978) Ore Docks at Two Harbors, Minnesota
Two Harbors is a city with a population of 5000. It is 30 miles northeast of Duluth. It is on Lake Superior and owes its importance to its heavy shipment of iron ore.
About 50 miles northwest of Two Harbors is the greatest ore-producing section in the world. The Mesabi Range of mountains crosses Itasca and St. Louis counties in Minnesota. This range averages yearly almost 30,000,000 tons or iron ore. This is one-third of the world's total supply. A railroad connects Two Harbors with the great ore-producing district of both the Mesabi and the Vermilion Ranges. Every day, train-loads of ore are brought to this city.
Here are shown the docks into which this iron ore is unloaded. On the dock at the right you will see a great many ore cars dumping their loads into the ore pockets. From these pockets you will notice iron pipes leading from the dock into the nearest boat on the right. The mineral runs almost directly from the cars into the vessels. Iron ore does not flow as readily, however, as does sand or gravel. A great many men are employed to punch it through the openings in the bottom of the cars and also to keep it running out of the dock bins into the pipes.
These boats you see here will travel the length of Lake Superior and then pass through the "Soo" Canal. From there they may travel southward, the length of Lake Michigan, to Chicago. Or more likely they will head for Lake Erie so that their cargoes may be discharged at Toledo, Cleveland, Ashtabula, Conneaut, Erie, or Buffalo. The boats, on their return trip, will carry cargoes of coal and coke.
Trace a cargo of coal from Two Harbors to Buffalo. Locate the cities named.

10625- The Wharves, Montreal Canada; Lat. 45 N; Long. 74 W;
Montreal is the great commercial center of the Dominion of Canada. It is situated on the north side of the St. Lawrence River and is 625 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. It is the leading port for the Dominion and its greatest railroad center. Here the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk Railways have their headquarters. These railroads tap the great grain and stock-raising areas of western Canada. The city is also connected by a number of railroads with the United States. Many steamship lines ply between Montreal and the Great Lake ports through canals that have been constructed about Niagara Falls. It is the 18th port of the world in importance. Its exports and imports together amounted in 1914 to $260,000,000. Its chief export is wheat.
The city lies along the northern bank of the St. Lawrence for some 7 miles. On the water front are great wharves and docks built of stone. The harbor is spacious and deep enough to admit large ocean-going steamers which dock here at high tide. Seven and one half miles of wharves have been constructed to take care of the extensive shipping of the city.
Montreal is a queer mixture of the old and the new. Its modern buildings are fine structures in keeping with its spirit of industry. But there are many buildings and spots to remind one of the city's history. Here in 1611 Champlain established a trading station. The village remained in the hands of the French until 1760, when it was captured by the English. In the Revolutionary War the city was captured by the Americans under General Montgomery. Its chief industries are flouring mills and sawmills. It also has many tanneries, breweries, glass and lead works. It manufactures locomotives, farm machinery, hardware, boots and shoes, sugar, and cigars. Montreal has a population of more than 470,000.

The HOAG was launched in 1862, re-rigged as a barge in 1880, as a schooner again in 1884, and abandoned by 1906. The photo appears to give the home port as Toledo, which might be useful in providing a more precise date.

No. VII
BUFFALO ON LAKE ERIE.
The Town of Buffalo stands at the extreme eastern end of Lake Erie. Its harbour forms the termination of the Great Erie Canal, which passes through the State of New York.
In this Sketch the extreme end of the Canal is seen where it joins the Harbour of Buffalo. The distant land of Upper Canada forms the back ground, and to the right of all, is the commencement of the River Niagara just beginning to flow out of the lake towards the Falls.
Lake Erie is about 230 miles long by 35 broad, and stands at the height of 5465 feet above the level of the sea, and 334 feet above Lake Ontario. It is frozen over during the winter, and is, I believe, nowhere above 200 feet deep; though in general it is much shallower, and in many places not above 12 fathoms, or 72 feet.

This "before" image was published some years earlier by J. Carbutt, of Chicago as number 188 of his "Views of Chicago and Vicinity" series entitled "Chicago River from the Rush Street Bridge" with Carbutt identified as the photographer.
Carbutt also marketed this as "No 75 Junction North and South Branches Chicago River"
The "before" face of a before-and-after pair of stereoviews illustrating shipping in the Chicago River at the time of the Great Fire of 8 Oct 1871. The perspective is from just behind and above the Rush Street bridge where a number of teams wait for the bridge to close. Lining the banks of the river are a succession of schooners. A tug tows another two-masted schooner towards the open bridge. In the background to the right is the Central Elevator
